That’s one of her problems. She NEEDS the advice. I’d be willing to bet Bolton does not have a foreign policy advisor. Or DeMint.

Well I think it is good she is getting some advice if she wants to run. But separating from McCain would be important.

I wonder if she would choose him as a VP candidate?

Of course she needs the advice, as would Huckabee, Pawlenty, and maybe Daniels. John Bolton might not need a foreign policy advisor, but he could probably use an economic policy advisor. Demint would probably need more advice on energy policy than Palin would. Reagan certainly turned to guys like Ed Meese for needed advice.

Each candidate has strengths and weaknesses in the knowledge department. There is nothing wrong with having access to advice that lies outside of your strong areas.

And if I were doing business with an organization that worked with foreign countries, I wouldn't mind seeing Taiwan on the organization's list of partners. Obama wouldn't even acknowledge that Taiwan IS a country.

Anyone who wants to run for President and thinks they can do so without a foreign policy adviser is too stupid to have the job.
